Cinnamon Rolls

Method

Muffins

  1. 1

    Prepare the Muffin Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until combined. Add in the mashed bananas for the banana pecan muffins or the chopped pecans for the banana pecan muffins, or the blueberries for the blueberry muffins.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Fill Muffin Tins

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners and fill each cup about 2/3 full with batter.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Cinnamon Rolls

  1. 6

    Prepare the Dough

    In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.

  2. 7

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    Add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture, then combine with the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

  3. 8

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  4. 9

    Prepare Filling

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon.

  5. 10

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Spread a layer of melted butter over the surface, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on top.

  6. 11

    Shape Rolls

    Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Cut into 12 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking dish.

  7. 12

    Second Rise

    Cover and let the rolls rise again for about 30 minutes.

  8. 13

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

  9. 14

    Prepare Frosting

    While the rolls are baking, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

  10. 15

    Frost and Serve

    Once the rolls are baked, let them cool slightly before frosting with the cream cheese mixture. Serve warm.
